So I have my iframe but left aligned but it wont center.
.iframeContainer {
display: inline-block;
justify-content: center; /* Center the iframe horizontally */
align-items: center;
width: 1067px;
height: 600px;
}
<div class="iframeContainer">
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vFO0_PA_NAg?si=VeD7R53zMk8l3yw8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
when I try and resize the iframe in the html Doc it works. For example:
<div class="iframeContainer">
<iframe width="1067px" height="600px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vFO0_PA_NAg?si=VeD7R53zMk8l3yw8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
then the CSS page would just like
.iframeContainer {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
I also tried putting the margin as auto... that didn't work either.
now I could be wrong so bear with me I am new to the coding world but I beilve an iframe is a block element so I am bewildered that it works as a flex. I know it's good practice keep elements consistent so any help would be greatly appreciated.
First your display inline-block wont work with align-items: center; and justify-content. just remove them with the display: inline-block and add margin:auto and it will work you will have the horizontal alignment: check it full page in the snippet below. As iframeContainer div display as block (not inline block) so we need to use margin: auto
.iframeContainer {
width: 1067px;
height: 600px;
margin: auto;
}
<div class="iframeContainer">
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vFO0_PA_NAg?si=VeD7R53zMk8l3yw8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
